Preliminary totals indicate they're still well below the allotted 50 student slots in each of the five Superintendent’s College Bound Academy ACT/SAT Preparation programs. Although the initial design and intent was to allow students who have yet to pass the FCAT an opportunity to earn concordant scores through either of these college entrance exams, we wanted to make sure you were aware that ANY student who attends a Title I high school is eligible to attend. Students who complete the program receive the following benefits:
- Waived requirement of Intensive Reading in for the fall semester
- Free SAT registration fee for September 12th exam
- Free ACT registration fee for October 9th exam

As of June 2nd, Wachovia had not received any scholarship applications!!
Wachovia and the Jaguars are proud sponsors of First and Goals, a program that reinforces the importance of setting and working toward Math grade goals. The program is in place for all Duval County public schools during a student's 7th and 8th grade years.
As part of the program, any student who participated in the program during their Middle School years, are eligible to apply for one of several $500 College/Junior College scholarships to be awarded to local seniors in 2010. You will also note that these students must have been accepted to a College/Junior College for the fall of 2010 due to the fact that payments on behalf of our winners are made directly to the school. See Mrs. Curran in guidance for an application if you are eligible.
